An MX record identifies an email server available to the domain. Most domains have multiple MX records, arranged in order of priority. When someone sends an email message to the domain, the first available server in the priority list handles the message.

Having multiple email servers and associated MX records is helpful when one server is down for update, repair, replacement, or malfunction. If one email server is down, email can be routed to another email server with a lower or equal priority.

Tool To Check MX Record

There are many tools to check MX record but MX Record Look Up is one of the best tool to check MX record.

Google Directory No More - Google Believe Web Search is the Fastest Way to Find Information

In these days, Directories are always the older way to find the information. Google also believe directory is the oldest way to find the information that's why Google discontinue their service Google Directory

Now if you open Google Directory You will get the following message.
Google Directory is no longer available.

We believe that Web Search is the fastest way to find the information you need on the web.

If you prefer to browse a directory of the web, visit the Open Directory Project at dmoz.org

Actually, Google was taking directory data from the Open Directory Project i.e. DMOZ

Surprising - Two Links of Google Directory are Showing in Google Sitelinks

Although Google Directory has been closed, but its two URL are showing in Google Sitelinks.

(a) World -> http://www.google.com/Top/World/ This URL is redirecting to 404 error page (page not found). I think its okay and working fine and it may be cached data that's why this URL is showing in the sitelinks.

(b) Directory Help -> http://www.google.com/dirhelp.html This URL surprised me because this URL was working and describing about the Google Directory. I think Google forget to remove this page from their server and that's why this page is working correctly and showing in the sitelinks.

Page loading or page speed is one of the factor which directly affect you search engines rankings. So, It is always recommended do not add extra images or flash videos on your website or any of webpage.

If you are looking for any software or website to know how long it takes to load a webpage ? Then StopWarch will measure the time for you.

How StopWatch Works ?

The stopwatch is a small Javascript that runs on your computer (not the Numion server). It measures the time between the moment your browser starts to load the URL and when the browser signals that it has finished ("Done" in the status bar). The measurement therefore includes fetching and interpreting all HTML (including frames), images, and Javascripts. It does not include content that is handled by plugins. If the page is in the cache then the stopwatch will measure the faster loading time (see tip above). The accuracy is the accuracy of the Javascript timer, on most systems 10 milliseconds.

Tips for Maintaining an AdSense Friendly Site with User Generated Content - By Google Adsense Blog

These days, user-generated content is everywhere, from the comments below newspaper articles, to the photos and videos shared on social networks. So it's no surprise that many publishers are monetizing this type of content with AdSense ads. But, while you're familiar with types of content which are compliant with the AdSense program policies, your users might not be. We understand that it's not always easy to monitor hundreds of new comments, posts, user profiles, videos, or photos every day, so here are a few ideas on how to maintain an advertiser-friendly environment on your pages.

Now for the tips, which we've divided in two sections - 'Prevention' and 'Monitoring'.Prevention

Here are some recommendations for ways to prevent your ads from appearing alongside user-generated content that isn't compliant with our policies:

Publish clear content guidelines and policies that your users will have to accept and adhere to in order to sign up and use your site's services.

If you own a photo or video sharing site where users are permitted to upload adult or other non-compliant content, clearly structure your content to avoid placing your ad code in sections/categories containing this type of content. The same idea could also be easily applied to online stores with adult sections or to classifieds sites which offer adult dating classifieds.

Ask users to tag their inappropriate content (e.g. sexually suggestive pictures or videos) as being non family-safe. This can help you perform human evaluations of potentially inappropriate content for AdSense ads. You can also try installing keyword filters for content related to adult topics, violence, or drugs, for instance. While we're unable to provide you with details about setting up these filters for your site, we recommend searching for terms such as "keyword filtering" or "content filtering" on Google.com.

Implement spambot protection for your comment forms, forums, and guest books. If you need more information on this topic, try a Google search for "spambot protection".
Monitoring

Set up ways for your community to monitor itself. For example, try adding a "Report inappropriate content" link to your pages, to allow users to flag content for you to review.

Proactively review pages, videos, photos, etc. with high pageviews on a regular basis.

Spot-check content based on keywords, content search, or related user accounts. For example, try entering keywords related to inappropriate content in your own search engine and checking the results. Alternatively, you can search on Google.com using the following parameter, replacing 'example.com' with your own site's URL and 'keyword' with a specific word or phrase: "site:example.com keyword".
